I own two of these remotes as well as the companion MSC-400. The first thing you should know if you are considering is this remote is NOT for the faint of heart. If you are looking for a simple setup and go type device, get something like a Harmony. But if you are a true DIY'er and good with hardware and software you will be well rewarded using a remote like this. It helps alot if you have some basic understanding of Object-Oriented Programming especially when dealing with the variables this remote is capable of.
From a hardware point of view, this remote is fantastic. It is well built, great tactile layout, and feels great in the hand. It is not touch screen which I was very thankful for since I have try them before (like the Phillips Pronto) and, after the novelty wore off, I ended up hating them. There is no replacement for hard buttons and a remote that does not need both hands to operate.
The software is what makes this thing great. The intelligence you can put behind it is phenomenal. Basically, every button is a macro. You can have them jumps from screen to screen, fire any code combination you want, and run logic. The logic comes in the form of If-Then statements, Toggle loops (kind of like a For-Next or Do-Loop), and Boolean Variables (True/False). It would be nice if it could do Integer or String type variables but I guess that would be a little too much for the average person.
A good example of how to use something like an IF statement is volume control. In my Living Room I like to watch TV with usually only sound coming from the TV but sometimes I like to do it through the Receiver.

The product arrived packaged in a MOEN box and without the necessary programming software. Because Unique Electronics is NOT an authorized dealer for Universal Electronics, INC products they will NOT supply me the required software to operate this report.
Without the programming software you cannot operate the remote so I am out $400.00!
To date still NOT one reponse from the seller after several e-mails.
Suggest you avoid this vendor!
I am surprised Amazon allows them to sell products on their site.
Update 11/2010:
After several calls to URC I received the software and with help from a local techniciam the remote was programmed and has worked flawlessly in my elaborate home theater for nearly 2 years. It controls every piece of equipment and provides a seamless user experience for an expert or novice. Before you purchase this device make sure you can obtain the software and an experienced person that can help you program the remote.

Anyone looking at this should AVOID buying it through AMAZON at all costs! The affiliate dealers selling Universal Remote products are NOT AUTHORIZED to sell them here, and you will have NO WARRANTY if purchased from an unauthorized dealer! Additionally, PROFESSIONAL programming is needed for this remote, and the software is NOT AVAILABLE to end users! Stay away! See the following link for more information: [...
